The building blocks of a breeding program are called the foundation stock. These are the dogs whose traits and pedigrees serve as the base from which future generations will be produced. Therefore, these individuals should be healthy and as close to the breed standard as possible. We have spent countless hours, money, and trial and error building our foundation stock for the Sur le Delavan Line of Bretons.

This page is a look at the famous and proven dogs you will find we carefully picked to build our foundation from. These dogs come from the best kennels in Europe. You will also notice all these dogs are proven in both the field and confirmation. We have focused on finding the best female reproducers that we could to work from with the following dogs in their pedigrees.
